MISSOURI invites students to be a participant in Missouri's story from its earliest peoples to the challenges of today.

Long Synopsis:

MISSOURI invites students to be a participant in Missouri's story from its earliest peoples to the challenges of today. Each unit is developed around the BIG IDEAS of social studies that help students focus and gain a deeper understanding of the Missouri Academic Content Standards. The Missouri program builds geographic mastery with map and chart skills, offers reading skills and strategies to reinforce Reading/Language Arts, and integrates Dinah Zike's FoldablesTM to help students improve comprehension. This program also features rich literature selections, primary sources, and Readers' Theaters that bring Missouri history alive, citizenship pages that show real-life participation in democracy, and biographies that help students learn about the lives of people who have made a difference throughout Missouri's history. The program includes Missouri Academic Content Standards for each lesson, as well as built-in Missouri Test Preparation in every unit assessment.
